That's fine, and totally reasonable. Downrating passengers for not doing something that's neither legally nor socially obligatory isn't reasonable, though. It would be like my downrating drivers who don't have a wide range of free beverages plus all the major magazines and newspapers in their car. It's certainly nice if they do, but it's by no means a part of the service, and it's not something I should reasonably expect.
5* means "met all reasonable requirements."
I don't downrate drivers who have the radio on when I get into the car (unless I ask them to turn it off, and they refuse), or ones who don't have the passenger seat all the way forward to maximize back seat legroom.
